When war broke out in 1939, few knew that they would soon be fighting to survive, let alone how or when it would end. ” Rations: A Very Peculiar History” looks at the measures the British government took to ensure the wellbeing of its people during wartime, & how the British public dealt with it. With some stealing, some hoarding, but most just trying to get by, it was one of the bleakest periods in British history. But there`s a reason they called it `the Blitz spirit`
- this title features amazing tales of camaraderie & good humour in the face of bombs & hunger. Featuring incredible food-&-energy-saving recipes used at the time, along with"es from survivors, ” Rations: A Very Peculiar History” will transport you back to a time when even Buckingham Palace & the Ritz hotel weren`t above swapping a bit of venison for a bit of lobster. Spectacular full-colour endpapers feature ephemera of the topic & time, while a full glossary & index help to make the books both fun & informative.

Surprisingly funny & compulsively readable, ” Rats” is an unlikely account of a year spent in a garbage-strewn alley in lower Manhattan. Sullivan spends the year with a notebook & night-vision goggles, hunting for fabled rat-kings, trapping a rat of his own, & trying (and failing) to conquer his own fear of rats. He meets the exterminators, garbage men, & civic activists, who play their part in the centuries-old war between human city-dweller & wild city rat. He travels to a bizarre Midwestern conference on rats that brings together the leading experts on rat history, behaviour, & control (did you know that one pair of rats has the potential for 15, 000 descendants in a year? That rats` teeth are harder than steel?). &, he reveals the many ways rats` lives mirror those of humans. Sullivan`s unusual & absorbing book earns a place alongside the classics of travel writing. ...

The 1:50, 000 topographic map gives a more general picture of the ground features than a basic map. It shows settlements, houses, roads, cultivated areas, waterways, cutting areas, mires, rock exposures, & relief. One map sheet covers an area of 30 x 40 km & one centimetre corresponds to 500 metres on the ground. The 1:50, 000 topographic map is also an ideal complement to nautical charts as it provides useful information about the land areas adjacent to waterways. For example, all Finnish sea areas are covered by 1:50, 000 topographic map sheets. ...
